Happiest Dog On The Block

What a super fun warm weekend! Everyone – even Gus – was downtown for the first Fridays After Five and the Tom Tom Block Party that went on all weekend. We walk/biked downtown Friday afternoon to get in on the fun. Same weekend, same pic, two years ago !! Mazen and his buddies had a great time exploring the BACON booth’s robotics and collecting swag from business booths all around the park. MY OTHER RECIPES We ran into the Struckmanns out on a mom + daughter date. Sylvia was dressed to the nines! They love each other except when they don’t and fight like siblings! We got casual food truck dinners. I ordered fish tacos, which I thought would be a healthy choice with some greens or cabbage and grilled fish, but there wasn’t much on this plate that was healthy! #dinnerfail They still tasted good. We went downtown for cones for dessert. And bumped into lots of people we knew! Saturday mornings are always rushed during Mazen’s soccer season when we have to leave the...

Sheet Pan Chicken with Cauliflower Rice, Olives and Feta

Image
You gotta love a meal that can be cooked and served on the same sheet pan, and will dirty only 3 other things in your kitchen. Maybe you’ll have to wash a food processor (if you rice your own cauliflower instead of buying cauliflower rice at the store) and maybe a garlic press and a spatula, but that’s about it—not bad for a healthy and tasty home-cooked meal. The “recipe” for sheet pan chicken with cauliflower rice, olives and feta goes like this: Spread cauliflower rice out on a pan with olive oil, garlic and chicken. Bake. Add spinach, olives, feta and herbs. Serve. Eat. Enjoy. How’s that for simple? Servings: 4 Time in the Kitchen: 10 minutes hand-on, plus 30 minutes to cook Ingredients 4 to 6 chicken chicken thighs (either boneless, skinless or bone-in) 4 cups/ 12 ounces cauliflower rice (or 1 head of cauliflower, riced) 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or pressed 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (80 ml) 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (3.7 ml) 3 large handfuls baby spinach ...

Spring In My Step

Image
I am almost out of spring titles, I promise! But MY GOSH, I had a spring in my step yesterday with warm, sunny air all around. We’re having a glorious few days of good spring weather! I demolished this jar of Smooth Operator. Need another asap! In contrast to the Whole Foods PB we’ve been getting for a while that has a very earthy taste, this was just classic smooth, non-gritty peanut butter that we all grew up with (but made without trans fats). I couldn’t get enough! Many of you responded to my Instagram Story that it was your favorite! I made overnight oats inside with granola on top, and scraped every bit! I had a really productive work day yesterday. You’d think that cloudy days would have me inside and productive and sunny days would have me wanting to play hooky outside, but sunshine fires me up! I got so many posts written, and have a bunch in the queue I’m excited to share. Lunch break was a big arugula salad topped with some leftover fish from Tuesday night’s dinner. Pl...
